"As with underground rivers there are many different streams of photography that have arisen in Florida. Beginning in the late 1950s, there was a particular group of artists/photographers in the academic institution in Florida who were committed to very different agendas from those held by more traditional photographic artists. Florida Photogenesis includes discussions of these notable photographers - Van Deren Coke, Jerry Uelsmann, Evon Stretman, Douglas Prince, Oscar Bailey, Todd Walker, Robert W. Fichter, David Ager, Tyler Turkle, Virgil Mirano, George Blakely, and Wallace Wilson - along with a selection of their work, biographies, and an interview with Van Deren Coke."--BOOK JACKET.
